A JDM F23B SOHC V-Tec engine

[Jus K!kO]

I wanted to know would a JDM F23B SOHC V-Tec 98-02 fit in a 93 Ex accord?

Research It

I thought that was sort of the point of this section. Granted, users with any number of posts should search for the answers to their questions before asking but still, this is the beginner section.


As for the engine, I've never heard of that designation(not to say it doesn't exist) but please post a link and I or someone else can answer your question a little bit better.

[F20A CB7]

Yes but he should at least search for it 1st it says it when you first sign up.

i had to do it, cuz the people who have more posts than me said so, so i searched and found most of the stuff myself and u learn more about the SITE and its FEATURES and all its lovely INFO on out cb7s

Then search for an F23B and let me know what you come up with.

The reason why i came up w/ this swap is because i figured the engine would be up to date. I'm still searching but i kind of figured maybe somebody else on this forum came up w/ the idea.

Noobs telling noobs to search. What the hell is this world coming to.


The engine will fit, as will the tranny, and the harness will have to be changed or modified.

I dont think it has been done, as the twin cam swaps are well, more bang for your buck.

F23B?

I've never heard of it... it's probably very rare, but if it's SOHC it's no better than a USDM F23A SOHC VTEC most likely... unless you're getting it for cheap I'd pass

F23A block + F22A1 head + F22A6 cam + H23A intake manifold + Megan Racing header = best SOHC bang for the buck

Well I was searching for engines online and I came across tigerjapanese.com and the engines wasn't that expensive including shipping (I'm in NY) So I was trying to save some money which the engine and shipping would come close to $800.

Never heard of it also. What power is it making? Plus If he searched I doubt he would find anything on that motor on this site. I never even heard of it. Whats the power output on the thing?

JDM F23

in the RA6 Odyssey application, 150PS, 206Nm, Tiptronic tranny OBD2

will fit in the CB..

f23 same output as F20 sohc VTEC, but more torque (+18Nm)

[NAiL05]

OH crapper you might as well pick up an jdm f22b.

[F20A CB7]

the f23 is outta a 98 accord sohc vtec... is there a dohc for 98-01 USDM

all F23's are sohc

NO USDM F series Accord came with a DOHC engine.

Any F or H series engine will fit, aside from the S2000 engines. The OBD2 engines (1996 and newer) will require additional steps to properly wire them up. For a 150hp engine, it's just not worth that extra work, IMO.
